The top of the table clash between the 1st and 2nd teams in the Nigerian Professional Football League was marred by fans' violence after a Kano Pillars strike was ruled out for offside. Fans at the stadium(in what was supposed to be a closed-door game) went wild after the assistant referee flagged for offside after Nwagua Nyima had headed home what might have been the winner for Sai Masu Gida who were the hosts. The call looks to be correct as Nyima was off the shoulder of the last defender when a flicked header came towards him. But as soon as he scored and the linesman and the referee signaled for offside, the Pillars players and fans went wild with the fans eventually overpowering the stewards and security men to get onto the pitch.
